She is perhaps best known for starring in the 1966 film "Come Drink with Me". Cheng continued to play expert swordswomen in a number of films throughout the 1960s.
Cheng moved to Southern California in the 1970s to raise her children. During this period, she attended business school at the University of California, Irvine, and taught Chinese dance.
In 2000, she returned to international attention with her role in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Cheng had befriended the film's director, Ang Lee, when she hosted the Mandarin talk show" Pei Pei's Time" on the Los Angeles–based TV station KSCI.
She followed this up with the 2004 television miniseries "Watery Moon, Hollow Sky", which was shown on Asian-American television as "Paradise". She continued to work for Zhouyi Media in mainland China.
She was the president of the King Hu Foundation. Edit Biography
